簡介

Whenever you hear the sky rumble, that usually means a storm. In Virgil Flowers’ case, make that two. The exceptional new thriller from the writer whose books are “pure reading pleasure” (Booklist).
* *
The first storm comes from, of all places, the Minnesota zoo. Two large, and very rare, Amur tigers have vanished from their cage, and authorities are worried sick that they’ve been stolen for their body parts. Traditional Chinese medicine prizes those parts for home remedies, and people will do extreme things to get what they need. Some of them are a great deal more extreme than others—as Virgil is about to find out.

Then there’s the homefront. Virgil’s relationship with his girlfriend Frankie has been getting kind of serious, but when Frankie’s sister Sparkle moves in for the summer, the situation gets a lot more complicated. For one thing, her research into migrant workers is about to bring her up against some very violent people who emphatically do not want to be researched. For another…she thinks Virgil’s kind of cute.

“You mess around with Sparkle,” Frankie told Virgil, “you could get yourself stabbed.”
* “She carries a knife?”*
* “No, but I do.”*

Escape Clause

Not the best Virgil Flowers book I've read but worth the time. Would like some more Lucas Davenport stories but perhaps JS is to flush with money to work that hard anymore.

Ehhh

Book was ok but almost seems like Sandford using ghost writers sometimes. No glaring mistakes in this one but not up to his usual standards. I guess he is just tired and by contract has to turn out a book ever now and then. Last Prey series read like it was written by folks who had never read the previous books. I know it's fiction but we loyal readers have pictures in our minds of what the characters look like so how does someone make the glaring mistake of changing Lucas' adopted daughter's hair from blond to almost black like his. The book was filled with and Sandford has been rough on her left arm...cut, broken, shot and more. But I still readem over and over. I've been in law enforcement and...other aspects of it for over 30 years and Lucas, of course, is living out the cop dream. Hope to see more books but whoever writes em, please read the previous ones. And we read non-fiction so the good guys can win so it isn't necessary to kill off any one else. I see enough of that in real life.

Number Nine

Virgil Flowers is back and ready to solve another case.
Two rare, endangered tigers have been stolen from the Minnesota Zoo. Since the zoo is owned by the state, the BCA is called in to find the tigers before they are harmed or killed. Virgil isn't thrilled to be assigned this case since he thinks he'll be known as the guy who rescues animals. When Frankie is injured because of her sister's investigation of a local farm that is trafficking people, Virgil splits his time between looking for the tigers and helping Catrin find who assaulted Frankie.
I was more interested in the case involving Frankie than I was the case of rescuing the tigers. As usual, Flowers is hilarious. I love Shrake and Jenkins. This was a quick read with some suspense and some gunfire. Can't wait for the next one!

I enjoyed the book as always. It was entertaining and a bit more history about Virgil and Frankie.
